Whether you choose a muted palette or more bright colors, the result is a very flattering color scheme that is sure to please.  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>It&#8217;s a very popular and on-trend theme<\/strong>. That means on-theme supplies and decor are easy to find. For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.partycity.com\/unicorn-party-supplies\" class=\"ek-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Party City<\/a> currently has an entire section dedicated to the unicorn birthday party theme.
